'An aphorism, properly stamped and molded, has not been "deciphered" when it has simply been read; rather one has then to begin its interpretation, for which is required an art of interpretation.' -- Nietzsche, 'On the Genealogy of Morals'

an emergent “artistic” approach to architectural imaging « Previous | |Next »
March 19, 2013

Alan Rapp in Is architectural photography art photography? at Critical Terrain refers to the contemporary photographer, Tim Griffith, to make his point that today both architecture and photography are in their own states of disarray and redefinition, making their current fusion especially fluxy.

Tim Griffith is seen as an example of the current practice of architectural photography evolving toward artistic effect; an example of the emergent “artistic” approach to architectural imaging and the shifting state of practice today.

Rapp says that:

Griffith presents the tensions inherent in this yoking of architecture and photography; his work is formed by professional rigor yet inflected toward art, hypertechnological in subject and approach, yet suggestive of an already fading moment....Griffith shows it is possible to attend the norms of conventional architecture photography while also subverting them, within the foursquare of the very image.

Griffith’s pictures can also be read as history and augury of architectural photography as a specialized practice.
